You are the legendary Red Baron, flying a plane through a horizontal side-scrolling scenery set during World War I. To complete a mission, you simply need to get to the landing spot on the other side without being shot down, but you can gain extra points by destroying enemy vehicles and planes. For huge points, pick up a bomb hidden in the level (you will be warned by a sound when approaching it) and drop it on a large structure. If you fail to land on the landing strip, you run out of fuel and crash. You can only shoot horizontally and diagonally by tilting the plane's nose. When in trouble, perform an aerial loop with the secondary button, this often destroys other planes and avoids bullets. There is a co-op mode with the character Max as well. Read less

The rest of the game has its own feel, but it's nothing special to differentiate itself from the crowd at the time. Just another arcade shooter. while I enjoyed the game, and …

I liked it! the looks, visuals, music, and art style, all of them makes the game very pleasant to look at and to hear. The gameplay is solid. The rest of the game has its own feel, but it's nothing special to differentiate itself from the crowd at the time. Just another arcade shooter. while I enjoyed the game, and it is solid on its own, the difficulty curve is awful. It will throw you from 1 to 100 to 1000 really fast, and you will notice.
